Would You Adam and EVE it?!

... Blogwatchers!!!

I bring ( sort of) FANTASTIC news!! ( of course the use of the words 'fantastic' and 'news' depend largely on your point of view; The Lovely Fellow and The Extremely Important and Very Clever Person ( Head of Practically EVERYBODY in the Legal Universe) might view such news with an impending sense of Doom; Various and Sundry Chambers will be filled with DREAD ( O NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Minx has taken Blogging STEROIDS, and is Bulking Up!!!! Run for your LIVES!!!!!) I, of course , am pretty BLOODY Happy. I hope you, Dear Blogwatcher, will be at least a little bit pleased, even if only faintly so)

After WELL over THREE years of whining, moaning, bitching jumping up and down and tearing out what little is left of the naturally LUSTROUS Minx Locks complaint, Google has FINALLY reunited me with all the posts ( bar ONE - the introduction, oddly enough) that were so CRUELLY whipped away from me by a bunch of itinerant law students who had no imagination, and even less discipline ( since I am given to believe that they never ever used the name that they had taken) when it came to matters blog!!! ( Blogger: er, Minx, they were under your nose an AWFUL long time, you know; we did keep them carefully for you in Reader, but you didn't notice..... Minx ( affronted) HOW am I supposed to KNOW if my posts are stored in Reader if, after ALL the Blazing ROWS we have had, after ALL our mutual tantrums you choose NOT to tell me that that's where you KEPT them?!And even THEN you only tell me NOW?!? Blogger: er, we couldn't be sure ( until now) Y'know, that you were, er, actually YOU........ Minx (* rolls eyes*) : And this means what, pray tell? that EVERYONE subscribing to reader can access my old posts, and even cut/paste/save them except me?! Blogger( trembling) well, er, your original email addy is still disputed....... Minx: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!! *Cue Blogger's flight, screaming, into the sunset*)

Now that I have FINALLY discovered a way to import the lost blogposts, dear blogwatchersI find myself  FORCED by BEASTLY old Blogger to go about the whole  business of restoration  in an UNBELIEVABLY round about fashion;This could  either be because I am not tech-savvy and don't know how to manage these things without making a proper pigs EAR of it, or because, well ,Blogger is the quite  the  THICKEST Blogging platform out there since Mr Thick went down Thick Street to Visit a Thick Cafe and buy a Thick Chocolate Milkshake . Either way, it is sufficient to state that  this is a process I find soooooo unbelievably  complex  that even The European Court of Human Rights may give cause to think that I have an actionable complaint under Article 10 of the Convention. It is, therefore, going to take quite a bit of TIME to restore each post, since each will have to be input manually; Blogger does not seem inclined to allow me to indulge in a marathon cut and paste session.( *WAAAAAAH!!!!!*)

  So it is that I've picked them  all up  and given them the once over( including the HUNDREDS of completely unforgivable spelling mistakes) so that, in the fullness of time, they  will become fit for your edification and reminiscence with regard to the mad bad and SAD old days that constituted the BVC ( as the BPTC was then) in tandem with other general grumblings concerning the Thesis Monster, among many other strange things. You'll notice the archive section expand considerably, therefore, in the coming months/ YEARS ( its taken me all DAY to get two in, let alone the 61 that are left!).  ( Thesis Monster :Feel free to dip in and have a bloody good LARFE. I know I did)

However there is a bit of a downside to this gratifying sense of restoration.

While I've lost ALL the pictures and links that accompanied my posts(this is a scenario that can easily be mended),the WORST Part of all this extended nonsense   is the loss of all the kind and helpful comments that were added by the many delightful visitors during the course of their stay. Unfortunately, this is a situation that cannot be mended. However, should you wish to comment upon revisiting these pages ,as they slowly expand within my archives Dear Blogwatcher, you will be more than welcome to do so.

 Still , I hope that this is an undertaking that will constitute a strange sort of fun along side my usual rantings - there is nothing like a spot of reminiscence to make one laugh, or indeed cry ( or even think 'ooh, MINX, you unmitigated and UNQUANTIFIABLE old RATBAG, you ) as well as to note, in hindsight, just how things , and life, pan out.

Hang on to your hats, it's going to be a Flat and INCREDIBLY BORING bumpy ride!
